I stayed at the Melia Alicante in 1999 and was blown away by everything, so when I went back in 2009, I didn't hesitate in booking a room. I was very disappointed that this hotel was starting to show its age 10 years later. Our room had a view of the Esplanada, but that was the nicest part. The room... more

Lobby/reception: we did not experience the same slow procedure mentioned by other reviewers. Friendly ladies at the front desk and check in was efficient and service oriented. Room: very nice and spacious room on the 4th floor with view on the marina and the casino, very comfortable bed, a modern and well-appointed bathroom with tub and shower. Flatscreen TV and... more

The double glazing kept the noise and the heat out. The restaurant Blue in the pool area was our favourite in Spain with beautiful views of... more

My partner and I spent a very enjoyable week at the Melica Alicante in September 2009. This hotel is brilliantly located with a beautiful big sandy beach on one side and a marina on the other. It is an easy level walk to both the old and new parts of the city and the station for the light rail system... more

This hotel lies between the marina and sea - my room had a fantastic sea view with a good sized balcony. It can easily be reached from the airport by the regular bus (C6) which runs every 20 minutes for 2.60 euros. Go to the end of the line to Plaza Purto de la mar. The hotel is opposite the... more

The room was nothing to write home about, but did have a decent sized balcony with chairs, which was nice. The hotel had restaurants and services and was located right on the beach. It provided beach towels and it was really nice to just walk to and from the beach. The best thing about this hotel is that breakfast came... more
